Obverse: Features the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle (the "Doppeladler"). This eagle represents the dual nature of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The eagle is crowned with the Imperial Crown of Austria (the Rudolfskrone) and bears the Austrian shield on its breast. Reverse: The value "10" (Heller) is prominently displayed within a wreath of oak and laurel leaves. The date "1916" is positioned at the very bottom. The Austria 1916 Ten Heller coin is a fascinating "transitional" coin. It was minted during the final year of Emperor Franz Joseph I’s long reign and represents a shift in materials as World War I intensified. Earlier 10 Heller coins were struck in pure nickel, but by 1915/1916, nickel was a critical war material. This led to the creation of the Nickel-Brass version (also known as Alpacca or Neusilber).This specific nickel-brass type was only minted for two years (1915 and 1916). Because the nickel content is low (only 10%), these coins tend to have a yellowish or "pale gold" tint rather than the bright silvery shine of earlier issues. Dimensions: Nickel-Brass (50% Copper, 40% Zinc, 10% Nickel) 19 mm. 3 g Pickup category timeslot {A}
